History

Department of "Algebra, geometry and mathematical logic" was formed in 1997 through the merger of two basic departments of the Faculty of Mathematics: "Higher Algebra" and "Geometry and Topology". The Department of Higher Algebra was opened in September 1967 at the Physics and Mathematics Faculty of the Karaganda Pedagogical Institute (KPI). The first head of the department was the rector of KPI, Associate Professor S.B. Baimurzin. In March 1972, on the basis of the Department of Higher Algebra KPI, the head of which was the rector of the pedagogical institute, Associate Professor. S.B. Baimurzin, was created Department of Higher Algebra of the University. The department was headed by professor T.G. Mustafin, senior teacher N.T. Mochernyuk, Associate Professor K.Zh. Zhetpisov, Associate Professor T.H. Makazhanova. Professor T.G. Mustafin, in parallel with the creation of the Department staff, did a lot of work with the students, the future teachers of the department, namely K. Zhetpisov, T. Nurmagambetov, M. Tserr, A.R. Yeshkeev, E. Nurkhaidarov. Since 2013 to 2021, the department was headed by Professor Eshkeev A.R., who is a student of Professor T.G. Mustafin. Eshkeev A.R. known as a specialist in the field of model theory, in particular, in the field of Jonsson theories. Yeshkeev is well known in the world logical community as a specialist in the field of model theory, in particular, in the field of Jonsson theories. In the 2021-2022 academic year, the department was headed by associate professor Kasymetova M.T., From 2022 to 2025, the Head of the Department was Associate Professor N. K. Medeubayev. Since August 2025, the Head of the Department has been Associate Professor R. A. Kaiyrov. In 2014, the Department of Mechanics, which trains specialists in the direction of "Mechanics joined to the professor T.G. Mustafin Algebra, Mathematical Logic and Geometry Department". The Department of Mechanics was founded in 2004. The head of the department was Doctor of Technical Sciences. K.A. Tursunov. Subsequently, master’s and doctoral programs were launched under the “Mechanics” educational program.Since 2021, the educational program "Robotics and Mechatronics" has been opened.
